County Sheriff Larry Plott told the TimesDaily that plant officials accuse Welborn
of deliberately trying to sabotage the operation by damaging the machine, which is estimated to cost $200,000 to fix.

Company officials say the damage, caused by small pieces of metal placed in the equipment, began in November and sheriff's
investigators began looking into the matter in February.
